I have a weird issue that only occurs on the Samsung Galaxy Note.
I have landscape and portrait layouts , in normal and large , as per : http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
On all phone so far it uses the normal and the tablets 7inch and 10 inch use the large layout (which was designed for tablets) and all is ok.
However the Samsung Galaxy Note is using the large layout (and from it's screen size would indicate so) - but the layout is a complete mess as it does not seem to be large enough display to show the tablet UI.
What is the exact screen combo for a Galaxy note ? , do I need to define a different density large layout to work with it ?
I am also suspecting it is incorrectly reporting to the app it's size like previous Samsung products.
Not owning one and not able to borrow one I have to appeal to you guys to help me out :-)
The Galaxy Note II was supposed to be available in 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB storage capacity variants, each expandable by up to an additional 64 GB with a microSD card.
The Galaxy Note II is available in Titanium Grey, Marble White, Martian Pink, Amber Brown and Ruby Wine case colors. Some features were removed, which vary as customized by carrier, include FM/TV tuner, charging pins, and Multiple-SIM card support.

Visit your home screen settings by long-pressing the home screen > Settings or by pulling down your notification shade and going to Settings > Home screen. Once there, tap the toggle called Lock Home screen layout to turn it off. Just like that, you can make changes as needed.
This is what you will see on the original Galaxy Note (shipped with Gingerbread)
Most of the other tablets (7 inch and 10.1 inch tablets) are mdpi.
This device will pick values from the large resource category since size takes precedence over density.
After the ICS update, the device classifies itself as below.
Galaxy Note is 1280x800 and dpi 320 according to http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/basic4android-updates-questions/13711-samsung-galaxy-note-emulator.html
